What you can use, and what we may.

Ideas you propose

When you propose an idea here, or vote on one, comment or add to someone else's, it stays yours. You give Nexus permission to use it: to read it, quote it, copy it into our own issue tracker and build it into the product. That permission is free, worldwide and does not expire — once something has been built from an idea, it cannot be un-built.

Two things follow from that, and they are worth saying plainly rather than burying. Your words are copied exactly as you wrote them into Nexus's issue tracker, with your name and the date, so the people building it can read what you actually meant; that tracker is private to the Nexus team. And if we build your idea, we may sell what we build. You are not owed payment for an idea, and proposing one does not make you an owner of Nexus.

You keep every other right. You can use your own idea anywhere else, tell anyone about it, or build it yourself. We are not asking for it exclusively.

Please only propose what is yours to give. If an idea is really your employer's, or someone else's confidential work, this is not the place for it.

The brand kit, which is here to be used

The Nexus mark, the brand sheet and the Presenting Nexus deck are in the library because we want you to use them. So, in plain terms: you may present the deck, whole or in part; use its slides and the brand sheet in your own material about Nexus; and use the Nexus mark when you are referring to Nexus.

Please do not change the mark — no recolouring, stretching or redrawing it; use it as your own logo, or as part of one; or use any of it in a way that suggests we endorse you, or that your organisation is a partner of ours, unless we have agreed that in writing.

This permission covers the brand kit only. Everything else we publish stays as the notice at the foot of the page says.

Everything else we publish

The videos, the guides, the cheat sheets, the pages of this site and the words spoken in the videos and written in their subtitles are ours. A subtitle file is not a separate document — it is read inside our player, on a page that already carries the notice — so the notice at the foot of every page covers it, the same as the video itself.

There is no licence beyond that. If you want to do something with our material that these terms do not allow, ask us; the answer is often yes.
